WTF on the prices. Im a huge beer nerd so I collect a lot of glasses and even the Rastal Teku glasses (supposedly the best beer glass) only cost 9 bucks or less. I hope he brings them to sell on the NA tour for 20 bucks a glass, that would be by far the most I ever paid for a glass but ill support him. Anyone else pissed that these cost so much?

There's only been a small amount made, mass production reduces costs in the long run but glassware is not as easy to sell as tshirts, so they are not going to risk having a large amount of glassware in storage that they cannot shift. Chances are they won't take them on the NA tour as they are bulky and fragile (I've only seen the mugs for sale at London shows). If you really really want DTP glassware and don't want to spend that much money on it, it's easy enough to do yourself, but make sure you support him in other ways. No one's being greedy, it's just how much these things cost. The option is now there if you want them, if you don't want them then just don't buy them C:

I was really amused to see Opeth selling the same thing on Facebook, using the exact same wording and posted only a few seconds apart from Dev.

..But yeah, definitely not interested in those prices, ouch.

Well, considering O Merch is run by NMC and Opeth...:P

Hmmm, a non-drinking Devin pimping liquor vessels - that was my first reaction. However in hindsight, although I do prefer when artists give full endorsement to products that presumably use themselves and want fans to purchase I guess the products are for the fans to decide to purchase or not.

Very cool and quite different idea but the prices are saucy balls alright... I'd say that'll put a lot of people off. I'll save my money for whenever they release an o-face beer stein. :D

Violet, seriously, get on that shit.

I have recently been somewhat perturbed by the Motorhead and AC/DC red wine and now Motorhead headphones. Like WTF? Hmm, yeah, you can just see Lemmy and Angus sipping a glass of red while listening to their headphones.

Plenty of breweries do limited glass runs for certain beers and they even can give them away. Maybe the marketing company chose a far too expensive manufacturer. Like I said the Teku glass which is generally regarded as the highest grade beer glass is only 9$ branded with a brewery logo. There are even limited run Duvel glasses with special artwork that go for 4$ a pop.

Ha. Be even more worrisome if they had a cheese plate. On the other hand, cheese sounds good to me right now. Ahem.

The glassware... nah, I'll just stick with the music and shirts. Still want a Ziltoid puppet. Don't know why, but everywhere I go, they want a credit card, even if I choose Paypal. Annoying.
